    Cadillac valve

    AHAaaa, Try it with compressed air and rubber tipped air/blow gun into the fan clutch fitting. Check for operation and listen for leak. Engine off. Easier to clean up air than oil. MR. CLEAN, CAMO

    HMMWV electrical issues

    New post and hello. Electrical questions like you have discovered are not always cut and dry. My first guess is. it could be a black wire. Well that's no help. Help is the road map of the HumV electrical system. To get the "ROAD MAP" look here> TM9-2320-280-20-3 and TM9-2320-387-24-2 both...

    This might help. It's in the TM shown below. With out the wire tags, this is going to be a fun puzzle... BUT doable. TM9-2320-280-20-3 and TM9-2320-387-24-2 both have full schematics at the end of the manuals. Google them or at the top of this HMMWV forum at TM's OK... I said it , TM CAMO

    Humvee won't start

    No fuel at injectors... OK. You said that. Not a directly related question. Is the WAIT light and voltmeter tracking Glow Plug action? Just a follow along question from the peanut gallery. One is not there yet and don't know your outside temperature should fuel show up at injectors. Pass...
